Meet Clifford. His road to POOCH was a bit meandering and bumpy. HE’s experienced a lot of different environments in his 11 short months of life. First found as a stray in California, he went into the shelter system, was pulled into a rescue, then went to an adult prison dog program where he was trained for a few months before being adopted to a home in Oregon. His adoptive home did not end up being a good fit through no fault of his own. When Cliff first came to us he was very scared and shut down. We are watching him blossom as he interacts with his doggy friend, Vivienne. The youth are slowly building trust and rapport with him. Cliff is starting to show some interest in toys. He’s got his sit, stay, and down cues dialed, and he walks well on a leash. Characteristics: Shy & nervous at first Gains confidence from his dog friends, especially Vivienne Likes to play with other dogs Does not like hugging THINGS TO BE AWARE OF Has been bounced around from a shelter to a rescue to a prison program in California to an adopted home and now to POOCH. He WILL need time to settle into a new home and know that his life isn’t going to be upended again. Could do really well with another dog in the home to continue to learn from and gain confidence from. He and Vivienne could be good buddies together if you are looking for two dogs. If you are interested in Clifford, check out his listing at Project POOCH and submit an application. Link: https://www.pooch.org/clifford DETAILS Breed: Who knows??

🌟Joey Tyler! 🌟 Now being fostered in Pittsburg PA ! But can be transported to the East Coast and PNW Joey is an energetic and bouncy 10 month old Blue Heeler and Aussie mix. He loves walks and hiking, chasing, digging, chewing, obedience training, and watching TV. He loves to learn, and is food motivated. Joey is fully house broken and crate trained, and he knows most basic commands - “come, sit, stay, drop it, leave it, up, down, gentle, look, and crate”. He is good on a leash and well tempered on walks, not reactive towards people or dogs passing by. So far he has proven great with most all other dogs, and loves to play with older kids (but he was too much for the little ones under 6yrs old). And he did well when meeting goats and horses, although does not have experience with them yet. Joey has never met a cat, as far as I know, and would probably like to chase it. He loves to play chase and would thrive in a home with breed experience and a way to channel his fun energy! Ready for lots of love and adventures?

Our mission is to reduce the homeless pet population through community outreach, free spay and neuter services, and saving all breeds of dogs and cats from the streets or animal shelters that oftentimes have no other option but to euthanize animals for space.

Tucker is the sweetest boy in the world. Luckily, he’s on the market- looking for forever love. He has the softest coat, the dreamiest eyes and an affinity for making his humans laugh. We believe that Tucker is an Australian Shepherd, Lab mix. He has the swooshy tail and soft coat of an Aussie, with slightly shorter fur and a silly personality that makes us lean toward “Lab mix.” We estimate his age to be around 3 years old, and he weighs in around 50 pounds. Tucker is a rescue, so his exact age and breed are unknown to us and cannot be guaranteed. Fall in love with Tucker here: https://youtu.be/2jgb3I5yMcQ?si=8tfHlt52aYxjiIxn Tucker has been fostered in a home with other dogs, and foster parents that love him deeply. Through their care, and their notes, we know that he’s great with men, women, and other dogs. He likes to snuggle with his foster parents, gives gentle licks, and they report that he’s potty-trained, crate-trained and good in the car. Tucker’s foster mom says that she loves him because “he’s funny, he’s silly.” He likes belly rubs and chest scratches, he has a sweet little smile and loves to do goofy things to make his humans laugh. He’ll hide behind the curtain, zoom around the backyard, or make a funny face. He’s very, very affectionate with his humans, but not overly pushy about it. With other dogs, Tucker is just as affectionate. You can find Tucker curled up on the couch in a snuggle with his foster siblings more often than not. Tucker shares toys well with his foster siblings, and likes to play chase with them. When he meets a new dog, he can be a bit shy at first, but he warms up very quickly and will initiate play. He’s done well with dogs as small as thirty pounds, and lives with puppies. We think Tucker would do best in a home with other dogs to keep him company. Here at the rescue, Tucker was cat-tested, and we believe him to be cat-tolerant. He could live with dog-savvy kitties. Tucker loves his toys too, especially squeaky toys. He loves treats, and takes them gently. His kindly asks that you stock up on jerky in anticipation of his arrival. Tucker is ready to be your best friend (and your dog’s best friend!) Tucker could live with other dogs, and/or dog-savvy kitties. He’s a perfect match for any animal-lover looking to be adored. We are willing to test Tucker with anything you need us to in order to ensure he’s the perfect match for you! We can make most anything happen! Just let us know.

Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet. The rescue’s hard costs alone for a healthy dog to go through our program typically range between $412 to $859, which includes boarding, food, medications, vaccines, and spay/neuter. For heartworm-positive dogs, hard costs are upwards of $1,120. Additionally, dogs requiring extended boarding, extra training, or extra medical care—such as dental work, vision care, or orthopedic care—can lead to expenses running into the thousands. Also, included in the fee are costs to cover transport up to the Pacific Northwest or East Coast. While adoption fees help cover part of these expenses, we want to emphasize that Three Little Pitties Rescue is not government funded. It doesn’t stop there!
